as i said at the out set i watched governor romney's speech very carefully this week. there were parts of it that got people thinking about the sort of campaign he's going to run and what the major messages will be. he went on the offense talking about the president's record. let me play one portion of that. >> he's asking us to accept that washington noes best and to provide all. we've already seen where that path leads. it erodes freedom. it deadens the entrepreneurial spirit. and it hurts the very people it's supposed to help. those who promise to spread the wealth around only ever succeed in spreading poverty around. >> let me focus on freedom as he uses it in that particular portion of the speech. we know that taxes is going to be a huge issue in the fall campaign. will freedom be eroded for wealthier americans if they resume paying tax rates that they paid under president clinton, a time of low unemployment and high economic growth for the country? >> well, david, any time you take from someone by virtue of taxation, there's an erosion of freedom. any time you im

romney, your speech was very well received around the country. you had an opportunity to talk about yourself and to talk about your husband and to talk about how he's connected to people in your lives and in your family. there was something that caught my attention, i'm sure it caught yours from the keynote speaker at the democratic convention which sort of went to this charge that somehow neither one of are you as empathetic about what's going on in the country to people who are out of work. and the line was, from julian castro, the mayor of san antonio, you just don't know how good you've had it. how did that sit with you? >> well, i think the thang i want to communicate to people -- it's so important that people understand -- is that mitt and i do recognize that we have not a financial struggle in our lives, but i want people to believe in their hearts that we know what it is like to struggle. and our struggles have not been financial but they've been with health and with difficulty and in different things in life. and one thing that i, again,

now, governor romney for a year, and he said it in his convention speech, has said, quote, president obama has thrown allies like israel under the bus. do you agree or disagree with governor romney's charge? it's a serious charge. >> well, you're trying to get me into the american election. and i'm not going to do that. the relationship between israel and the united states is a bond of -- just a very powerful bond. it was, it is, and will be. and will continue to be. and i can tell you there's no one -- there's no leader in the world who's more appreciative than me of the strength of this alliance. it's very strong. there's no one in israel who appreciates more than me the importance of american support for israel. it's not a partisan issue. in fact, we cherish the bipartisan support of democrats and republicans alike. this is critical for us. >> but prime minister, if i may just interrupt you -- >> it is critical that we take -- >> this is an important point because you say you don't want to interfere in the election. there are tens of millions of americans who are watching that spe

romney would win by ten points. >> we always have this debate about iowa but it's more intense now. the history of the iowa caucuses, retail campaigning, a real chance to interact with voters one-on-one. the truth of the matter is that it's a lot like big-time politics everywhere else now. more than 60 million dollars of tv advertising blanketing the airwaves. so much of it negative. and here was the headline in a "wall street journal" editorial on tuesday. it was as iowa goes, so goes iowa. gail collins piling on in "the new york times" on thursday, writing feel free to ignore iowa, the republicans hope to get more than 100,000 participants. that's about the same number of people in pomona, california. imagine your reaction to seeing a story saying that a plurality of people in pomona thought newt gingrich would be the best gop presidential candidate. would you say wow, i guess newt is now the front-runner? possibly not. now i'm from the los angeles area so i don't like anybody picking on pomona. but, is iowa going to pick the president? >> well, listen, this is the quadrennial att

he's been given major speeches on the economy and jobs. and i think he is improving dramatically as a candidate, but also the proportional distribution of the delegates. any campaign before, we had -- we had winner take all. if it was winner take all, you would have seen those numbers significantly different. also, the super pacs have played a key role, unfortunately in my view, because most are negative ads, driven up unfavorables of all the candidates and made it much more difficult to win the election. >> you worry about tone. you've been in nasty -- >> this is the nastiest i have ever seen. again, when you have las vegas casino mogul, by the way, who gets part of his money from a cow, pouring $20 million into one campaign, and most of those are negative ads, obviously, that drives up people's unfavorables. so, it's -- it's the result of the worst decision the united states supreme court has made in many years. the citizens united decision where out of naivety and sheer ignorance the majority of the supreme court just unloosened all --
